On the contrary, I think lots of young people are drawn to Trumpism in general.

Trumpism is the mentality of a 5th grade bully writ large. White teenage males in particular love the idea of being able to say and do anything they like with no consequences, because the idea of getting in trouble and apologising for anything is alien to them. Schoolkids bullying each other by chanting ‘Trump’, for instance, is exactly the mentality that appeals. A compliant media culture that encourages feeling no shame for acting in this manner makes it very appealing. I think we will see that young people, especially white young people but also across other races, will find Trumpism a very natural fit.

I work at a company where most of the people over 35 are conservatives (probably > 80%). The ones I work near under 30, about 10 of them, either obviously don’t like Trump or don’t like policies the GOP supports. The friends of my oldest two almost all voted Democratic.
